Aloris CA19 Adjustable Knurling Holder Series Ca

Product Description

The ALORIS CA19 is an adjustable knurling holder designed for use with Series CA quick-change tool post systems on engine lathes. It accepts standard knurling heads and allows the operator to set wheel contact angle and pressure independently, which is critical for producing consistent knurl patterns across a range of stock diameters. The holder fits lathes with a swing of 14 to 20 inches and has an overall height of 2.25 inches with a centerline height of 2.0 inches. At 8.5 pounds, it is a solid, production-grade holder built for shop use by machinists and tool room technicians.

This holder is intended for ferrous and non-ferrous turning operations on manual engine lathes in job shops, production facilities, and maintenance machine rooms. It is specifically suited to lathes in the 14-to-20-inch swing class where the Series CA quick-change post is the standard tooling platform. Knurling operations requiring repeatable depth and pattern quality benefit from the adjustable design, which allows pressure to be dialed in without repositioning the carriage repeatedly. Through-coolant is not supported on this holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists familiar with quick-change tool post systems. Power down and lock out the lathe spindle before mounting or adjusting any tooling. The holder slides onto the Series CA tool post dovetail and is secured with the post's locking cam - verify the holder seats fully before tightening. Adjust knurling wheel pressure according to workpiece material and diameter before engaging the spindle.
